JACOB CARDIOVASCULAR LESSON PLAN (I'm not sure if I posted it right)

**__LESSON PLAN__** __Unit name Cardiovscular Fitness/ Capture the Flag Lesson # Grade: 6-8__
 * Instructor: ___Jacob Sagherian___**

Equipment/supplies: Cones, Pinnies, Enough beanbags for each student in the class, Large timer

Major movement concept or skills: Students will learn ways to keep their heartbeat up to work on their cardiovascular fitness levels. They will learn that as long as your heartbeat is up, you are challenging your body cardiovascular wise, and it will work on your fitness levels.

Safety considerations: Make sure students are not running into each other or shoving each other during the activity. Also, make sure if a student looks extremely out of breath that you take the necessary precautions so the student doesn’t over exert themselves.


 * Initiation: ** Good morning class. Today we are going to be working on our cardiovascular fitness? Can anybody tell me what our cardiovascular fitness is, or ways that we can work on our cardiovascular fitness? We are going to be doing some activities that are not only fun, but they work on your cardiovascular fitness and health.

** Introductory Activity **
 * **Std(s)** || **Objective**  ||  **Assessment**  ||
 * || ** Students will be able to keep a decent pace running around the gymnasium while keeping their heartbeat up. ** ||  ||


 * **__Movement experiences__: Students will run around the gymnasium in order to warm up. They will perform this warm up for 8 minutes attempting to run the entire time. Students will be able to walk if necessary. The most important thing is to have the students keep their heartbeat up the whole time.** || ==1) Organization: Make sure students jog/walk aroung the boundaries of the basketball court and that they stay away from the bleacher.==

2) Teaching cues: Make sure to breath in and out while running. If it is too difficult and your feel dizzy you can walk, but do not walk just because you do not feel like running.

 * 3) Questions to ask: Can everybody feel their heartbeat increasing?** ||
 * **Differentiated Instruction: For a student who is in less cardiovascular shape, have them walk at a fast pace the whole time. For a student who is in better cardiovascular shape you can have them run a certain amount of laps for time in order to push themselves.** ||

Lesson Focus


 * **Std(s)** || **Objective**  ||  **Assessment**  ||
 * || ** Students will be able to work as a team in order to get all of the beanbags to the location necessary. **  ||   ||


 * **__Movement experiences__: Students will work on their anaerobic fitness by running back and forth between cones, as a team, in order to move the beanbags back and forth. Students will also be performing stop and go movements.** || ==1) Organization: Separate the class into teams of four. Have a large timer somewhere in the class where all students can see. The students WILL NOT be competing against other teams, only against themselves. Set up two cones about 20 yards apart from each other and have 4 beanbags at one of the cones. Each group of 4 will go to one pair of cones. Have the students from each team line up at the cone without the beanbags. The first student in line will run to the second cone, pick up a beanbag, and bring it back to the first cone. When the first student gets back to the cone, the next student in line will go until the whole group of 4 has finished. The students will repeat this several times, trying to do a little better than their last time in each attempt. Once again, the students are not competing against other groups, ONLY AGAINST THEMSELVES.==

==2) Teaching cues: Make sure that your teammate as crossed the first cone before you start. Keep your head up while running so you do not run into any of your teammates. Make sure to breath correctly the whole time.==

||
 * 3) Questions to ask: What was the best strategy you had in order to turn around the fastest at the second cone? Was anybody able to do better each time they went? Or better then the first time they went?**
 * **Differentiated Instruction: For a higher skilled class that is more competitive, you can have the teams compete against one another. However, if the class is not competitive eliminate competing with other teams so the students don’t lose moral.** ||

Culminating Activity


 * **Std(s)** || **Objective**  ||  **Assessment**  ||
 * || ** Students will try to recover as much beanbags as they can in their area before time is up. **  ||   ||


 * **__Movement experiences__: Students will play a large game of capture the flag as a class. This game will allow the students to have fun as well as work on their cardiovascular fitness.** || ==1) Organization: Separate the class into four even teams. Give each team a different color pinnie that corresponds to the two bean bags you give that team. Make a large square in the gym, with boundaries separating the larger square into 4 even sized smaller squares. Each team will take a square as their base and have the back corner of the square for where they keep their beanbags. The object is to get as many beanbags from the other teams to your beanbag station. The team that has the most beanbags from the other teams in their station when time is up is the winner. If you get tagged with a beanbag in your hand, you have to do 15 jumping jacks, drop the beanbag, then return to your corner before you can go back in play. You can get tagged in any of the areas except for your teams own corner.==

2) Teaching cues: Make sure you are not pushing the opponent really hard when you tag them. Communicate with your teammates in order to have a better plan for collecting/defending the beanbags.

 * 3) Questions to ask: Was it more difficult to defend the beanbags or try to get them from the other team? Did you feel your heart working while your were playing the game. Did your team do better when you communicated with each other more?** ||
 * **Differentiated Instruction: If the game is not progressing very well, you can make it so the students cannot directly stand in front of the beanbag area to defend them. You can require two tags to get someone out if nobody from either team is retrieving any bean bags.** ||


 * Closure: Great job today!!! Today we learned different ways that we could work on our heart and cardiovascular fitness, that are fun at the same time. Make sure to always get your cardiovascular activity in when you get out of school. That could be playing sports, playing outside, or any number of things. Just make sure you aren’t always at home playing video games, watching TV, on the computer, or sitting down. The more cardiovascular activity that you get now, the more it will help you as you grow up in every area of life.**
